Let's hope they hired 35 good testers!

I think this is the way I'd like to approach the game as well. Whether I'll be able to resist firing it up is another question.

I'll probably do what I've always done: play it from day one, start a career, say "Oh, an new patch", dump my career and start a new one, say "Ooh, cool new mod!", dump that career and start a new one, say "Oh, another new patch", dump that...and four years later I'm once again starting a new career in SH3, without ever having finished a single one.

But I'm having fun.

Ubisoft really needs to take their time, if we buy SH5 and it was rushed..it will be a doomsday. I am really tired of playing rushed games, aren't even finished, never will be..so short and easy with all the great graphics. We need something we WANT to put time into and enjoy it!

Me too. For me the war ended not later than 1942. And it wasn´t because my sub went to the basement...

My prediction: Somewhere between summer and holiday 2010.

I believe that it is particularly important for war and military sim games to be released only when they are finished and fully playtested. The buyers tend to be older, more mature and more willing to wait for quality than in some other segments.

A very poor/premature release can and often does have a lasting impact on the ultimate success of such games, regardless of how well they work down the line a few months or more.

I think that could be released in summer.

Sh4 was the same engine with changes, including sh3 files and i´m sure that sh5 is the same thing but improved , like some mods (torpedo room, engine room) but made for the devs.

if this could be made for modders is sure that they can do the same and better because they have the tools and the source code, so i don´t expect too much delay

ps. i never play careers until the game is fully patched and the first big mods packs are available
